When does Implantation occur ??

hi IL's in ttc ,

I thought of sharing this research report on implantation timing in the uterus.Hope it helps in clearing the doubts on when implantation actually occurs

''A relatively recent study tells us that implantation does not always take place on day 7 after ovulation. In fact it very rarely does. This study by AJ Wilcox (1) accurately determined the day of implantation by very sensitive pregnancy test (HCG) measurement compared to ovulation. HCG hormone starts being produced when the pregnancy implants into the uterine lining. The findings in normal women trying to conceive included:

• first appearance of HCG (implantation) occurred 6-12 days after ovulation
• 84% of the pregnancies implanted on days 8-10 after ovulation
• early pregnancy loss increased with later implantation -
  implantation early pregnancy loss rate
  • 13% by day 9
  • 26% on day 10
  • 52% on day 11
  • 86% on day 12 or more''

So looks like in majority of the cases implantation happens beyond day 12 of the cycle!! :thumbsup
